Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 December 2006

This guy and I are really good friends. It is very possible that I will progress into more. There areindications that it will. He has informed me that there are times when he would like for me to have his kids. I told him that I felt very honored but would like to be married first. I informed him several times how I felt about him. He has done the same. He completely respects my wishes. He would be the most awsome dad. He is easy to talk to, respectful, and is very understanding. I know that he wants 2 children the same as me. He here is the problem. I am absoutely scared of being pregnant. I am scared of morning sickness and of labor. I don't want to miss a golden oportunity with someone whom I care so much for. What do you suggest?

Here's the scenario:

I had the day from hell. My kids 11, 5 & 3 have destroyed my house, fought like cats & dogs, literally swung from the doors of the entertainment center to jump onto the sofa, spilled my beads I use to do projects, tore up a role of t.p. in an attempt to make snow, dissected all of their Christmas toys in various places throughout the house & snuck food upstairs (which is forbidden) & smeared it in the carpet among OTHER things. With no time or energy left to cook we went out for dinner.

In the restaurant we were met with glares from other patrons watching my kids misbehave & scream & just be brats in general. What should I have done?

a) Let my kids continue their behavior, disturb other diners & give them non-effective verbal threats.
b) Spank them and have DFCS called on me.
c) Sent them to the car to sit within sight of me & been cussed out by another patron of the restaurant for being a bad parent for putting them in the car?

how old was people when they had their 1st child?
do you wish you could go back in change it?
and if you had a baby while you was in high school or college: did you find it very hard to keep up with your education?

I'm not pregnant. I'm just curious to see people answers!

My 5 week old daughter sleeps perfectly at night time, only waking a couple of times for a feed.... but she won't sleep during the day! She wakes up around 8.00am, and if I'm really lucky she will have a very restless sleep for around 45minutes at around 11.00am. She then wants to be up pretty much all day from there! What can I do! I know that overtired babies don't sleep well, but she won't let me put her down even when she's not overtired!

I've been on DepoProvera since January of this year but I stopped after my third or fourth shot, and the week that I was supposed to get my last shot, I had my period. (Also happened during my second shot, but stopped same day that I got injected) Since the same week that I had my period, I've gotten bigger but didn't gain weight, I get cravings, I HAVE to sleep on my side or back, (sleeps on stomach only) I get dizzy to where I lose my balance, I'm tired no matter how much I sleep, I cramp even when I'm not getting my period, I get headaches, when I eat I feel sick/when I don't eat I feel sick...and many other symptoms to where I feel pregnant. This month, during the week that I expected my period, I got it, but for 2 days then it stopped. My boyfriend's mom says that I might be pregnant. I've taken at home tests but they said negative :(

Is there a way to stop or at least reduce my 11year old son and 6 year old daughter fighting so much...I realize they have a fairly large age difference and that most is just plain old sibling rivalry but there has got to be something that won't require me to separate them their whole life.

We're in the military and our son has autism. I was wondering if there were any special grants or organizations that could help us? We're in the lower part of the pay scale. We also have a daughter, but so far no signs of autism with her. Thanks.

about 4 weeks ago I had unprotected sex. I got my period a week and 4 days ago. But I know many people who have gotten pregnant and still had a period my sis included. I was having pains in my breasts but that has calmed down a bit. I was constipated and have been having bad headaches and nausea for about 3 weeks now. I started retaining water around my midsection and you can really tell because I have a tiny waist and stomach. I had the sniffles for a while but now I'm just full blown sick. It started last night. I had a fever and sore throat. THe fever and sore throat is gone. I know these arent signs of pregnancy though. I also feel a sort of....not really a pain...but a tingly feeling right above my belly button. Does anyone think I may be pregnant? 4 days before I had my period I took a test and it was negative. should I take another one?

Let me preface this by saying I've had the day from hell. I know kids love winter break but it's making me insane. At least when my kids are at school for a few hours I have time to clean and get myself together. Today my kids destroyed my house. It was already messy from Christmas holidays when the whole family came over but they literally destroyed it. The toys they got were all over. One of them tore a roll of toilet paper into little pieces trying to make snow. My smallest one got a hold of some beads I use for crafts & opened them all over the floor. Every 10 minutes one of them is coming to the kitchen for something to eat. They sneak food upstairs and smear it into the carpet. As soon as I would clean up one mess I found another. I am at my wits end. I didn't have dinner cooked tonight so we went out to eat. My kids kept up their destructiveness in the restaurant. My 3 yr. old was climbing on top of the candy machines, my 5 yr. old twirling around while......

My 11 month old son has a really bad diaper rash. I called a doctor but he wasn't very informative. But he has blisters and a little bit of bleeding all over his bottom and little boy area, and it hurts him to have to go to the bathroom. We've tried a couple creams and nothing really seems to be working. Does anyone know of anything that works fast and relieves pain???

at the end of october i started using the birth control called the IUD which basically prevents you from having kids for 5 yrs. i got my period in november but not for december, its possible that the birth control could lighten up the period or stop it completely but i got it last month, my husband is convinced that the birth control wont work and thinks im pregnant..what do u think??
